The preclinical in vivo assay for QT prolongation is critical for predicting torsadogenic risk, but still difficult to extrapolate to humans. This study ran preclinical tests in cynomolgus monkeys on seven QT reference drugs containing the drugs used in the IQ-CSRC clinical trial and applied exposure-response (ER) analysis to the data to investigate the potential for translational information on the QT effect.In each of six participating facilities in the J-ICET project, telemetered monkeys were monitored for 24 h following administration of vehicle or 3 doses of test drugs, and pharmacokinetic profiles at the same doses were evaluated separately. An individual rate-corrected QT interval (QTca) was derived and the vehicle-adjusted change in QTca from baseline (∆∆QTca) was calculated. Then the relationship of concentration to QT effect was evaluated by ER analysis.For QT-positive drugs in the IQ-CSRC study (dofetilide, dolasetron, moxifloxacin, ondansetron, and quinine) and levofloxacin, the slope of the total concentration-QTca effect was significantly positive, and the QT-prolonging effect, taken as the upper bound of the confidence interval for predicted ∆∆QTca, was confirmed to exceed 10 ms. The ER slope of the negative drug levocetirizine was not significantly positive and the QTca effect was below 10 ms at observed peak exposure.Preclinical QT assessment in cynomolgus monkeys combined with ER analysis could identify the small QT effect induced by several QT drugs consistently with the outcomes in humans. Thus, the ER method should be regarded as useful for translational prediction of QT effects in humans.
